Montjuïc Municipal Swimming Pool has one of the most stunning panoramic views of Barcelona. It's well worth climbing the hill in the evening to cool off and take in the city as you swim.
Barcelona’s beaches are some of the most beautiful you’ll ever see, but if you don’t want to get covered in sand, you have got another option. Barcelona is also home to many, many seriously beautiful outdoor pools. Like a beach, but without the faff, you know?
The best part? They’re just as atmospheric, with just as good views. You’ll find outdoor pools on rooftops, next to lakes and surrounded by palm trees, and most of them cost next to nothing to enter too. Hire hammocks, canoes and more, or settle down with a drink for the entire afternoon. Here are the best outdoor pools in Barcelona.
